I was astonished to see hours long queues to vote in the USA.This can only be voter suppression.Here in the UK it takes me at most 10 mins & i have the option of a postal vote.However the UK is already following US in voter suppression (photo ID)

The Epstein Files will definitely come out. They will be so horrific that even evangelical Christians won't be able to support him. All the Republicans have is delaying tactics. Canute already knows this. His only way out will be dementia. His enablers will jump ship as the net closes. #trump

The proscription as terrorist of a direct action protest group for throwing paint over planes devalues the term 'terrorism'& makes infinitely more difficult the fight against actual terrorists.

In London yesterday a man was arrested for holding up a magazine called 'The New World', which is freely available to buy in our shops.
The UK government is sliding away from the concept of free speech at an alarming speed.

I have never heard Ulster Scots or Irish used in everyday life yet an SDLP council has given Irish priority on public signage - an act of exclusion,not inclusion. #irishlanguage #unitedireland

PrivetEye @priveteye.bsky.social · 1d

In a united Ireland Irish must be made available to all children,on a voluntary basis. We spend £200m+ to segregate education; the only difference in the curriculum is compulsory Irish in maintained schools.Add to this the cost of Irish signage etc.

If there was a demand for Irish language usage in everyday life there would be a mass circulation newspaper in Irish. Irish language programming on tv has such low ratings that they aren't statistically significant.

I was amazed at the lack of substance in the Republican Party when it was swatted aside by a low functioning sociopath, but I am even more amazed that the sociopath still has a 40% approval rating.

Perhaps, if British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmoud believes pro-Palestinian protests should be cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims of the Manchester attack, the government could also cancel its arms shipments to Israel, as a mark of respect for the victims of genocide .

I don't understand why the UK Labour Party leadership are still forcing the London Police to arrest protesters against the genocide by The State of Israel. Confusing this with antisemitism is bizarre.

I would really like to ask the UK Chief Rabbi his opinion on the Israeli government extending an invitation to the far right racist thug 'Tommy Robinson'/ Stephen Yaxley Lennon. Does he also think of 'Tommy' as a loyal friend?

Children in Gaza are being killed at the rate of one per hour, which is equal to a classroom of children, every day.
You can do something - march, pester your m.p, or even support independent media like Doubledown News.
